'Fallout 4,' 'The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim' News & Updates: No Mod Support Allowed On PS4, Says Sony

The latest update on "Fallout 4" and "The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special" on PlayStation 4 revealed that these will not include mod support. Bethesda announced that Sony Interactive Entertainment did not approve user mods in the manner that they should work.

After months of discussion, Bethesda stated that although they have prepared to provide mod support on PS4, Sony said that they will disapprove user mods the way they should work. Generally, users can do anything they wish for games like "Fallout 4" or "The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition." Bethesda mentioned that they regret and are disappointed by Sony's decision, considering the time and effort that they placed into the project.

Bethesda deems the recent issue with "Fallout 4" and "The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition" as an essential initiative. They hope that they can look for other approaches that user mods can be made available for PlayStation 4 gamers, since they have waited a long time for mod support to arrive. The game developer concluded that the content for "Fallout 4" and "Skyrim" on PlayStation 4 will remain unavailable, until Sony allows them to feature proper mod support. They promised to give updates if the situation changes.

Fans will most likely be disappointed with the lack of mod support for "Fallout 4" and "The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition." Bethesda previously shared that they will introduce modding to the PS4 and Xbox One versions of the titles. In the past months, Xbox One players have already enjoyed changing the environment of "Fallout 4" as they pleased. However, PS4 mods were reportedly under evaluation, spurring talks that mod support may never arrive at all on the console.

Polygon noted that while Sony cut off Bethesda's plans for mod support on PlayStation 4, Microsoft decided to grab the opportunity by emphasizing how the Xbox One offers mod support. Many players are confused why Sony would skip the potential of driving more people towards the PS4 by introducing "Fallout 4" and "Skyrim" mods. "The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition" is set to launch on Oct. 28, 2016.
